Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams recently discussed being pranked by somebody texting him, pretending to be Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The prankster told Williams he was taking the Bears head coaching job.
Williams laughed about it on a podcast after finding out it was a joke, but he couldn't hide his excitement or respect for Johnson, who was the hottest name in this coaching cycle.
Williams didn't know Johnson's phone number before the prank, but he'll get it now. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday the Bears are finalizing a deal with Johnson to become the team's next head coach.
